Does anyone know what road racers use for turbos? I know everyone who's all about the 1/4 mile wants the biggest thing alive, but there has to be a medium out there for someone who likes to turn the wheel.
L1R's , AGP SS44/FP 2844, 20g's, Mutts (haha, jk bou the mutt's),3052's, 14b's. ?

It depends on the course. If your doing auto-x/solo2 stuff then you want something small like a 14B or FP T28. For larger road courses your probably looking at a 16G varient, TD05H based 20G, or one of the newer smaller frame dual ball-bearing turbos like the FP 2544, AGP SS44, etc. You can get away with a somewhat big sized turbo if your running real road courses. Scot Gray runs an FP Green on his car. The funny thing is that the road course portion of the 2003 SCC Ultimate Sport Car Challenge was won by a 670awhp drag Eclipse.

fp3052, fp3065. i honestly can't see why anyone would chose the green when u can get one of the fp30's for cheaper, unless maybe they find a used one for cheap.

The Red and Green are great, but now that PTE hit the market, prices for FP stuff dropped like boys underwear around MJ. Go talk to Shane, have him pick a nice turbo for you based on what you want to do and get it at the great rate Elite's offering. Taking a vote on which turbo to get is going to get you a few right answers and a lot of half-assed speculation.

T3/T4, soo many options. I did click the FP30 fist though, thinkin 3065

[niterydr]

i keep hearing about this 't3/t4' turbo, but I have yet to see one....
lol, to4b, 40 series wheel, .48-.63/a/r, stage 2 or 3 wheel (all pending manafacture), twins of course :).
For a dsm, what is your goal? since your car is fwd, lag is your friend... what are 'all the supporting mods in the world', throwing a monstrosity of a turbo on there and 'wishing, hoping, praying, waiting' for proper supporting mods will make you slower, build the system in a system, make a goal, pick a hp range, pick the parts, have fun.
